John Brown Melons

I have always loved Watermelons since I was a kid. I remember eating them on my grandma's back porch. Fun, Fun! As I grew older I got indigestion every time I ate watermelons. Bummer! Then one day I was traveling through Carmi, Il, not far from my home. I couldn't resist and was going to deal with the indigestion. Besides, the family would love to have a good ole fresh Watermelon! So I stopped at the stand one sunny afternoon. Someone there was kind enough to have some samples of all sorts of melons. I tried a piece of yellow watermelon and loved it! Best thing is, I didn't get indigestion and it was better than I had remembered since I had to quit eating them. Well, now I am hooked on "John Brown Melons" ~ yellow uns specially :-) Ever since that day I have told everybody about the Melon stand in Carmi, Il. Then to my surprise the Stand came to Evansville, In and in the 2nd year had 2 locations. What a great business to bring to Evansville, In! So now we have really fresh produce from Spring to Fall. From Watermelons to Pumpkins, hopefully every year!
